    Greek yogurt and home made grainless granola, and a slice of gf bread with almond or peanut butter. I eat breakfast at 8am but I don't eat lunch until 1pm and I am not allowed to take snack breaks so I have to eat enough to keep me going until lunch. If I have time I make a cheese and veggie omelet and toast.

    Breakfast shake consisting of:
    two scoops protein powder
    one cup of oats
    5 grams bcaa's
    ~8 grams of creatine
    one scoop of chia seeds


    I mix it up the night before dry, and add water on my way to work.

    Slice of low fat toast and peanut or almond butter OR overnight oats (I make 3-4 jars of these on Sundays) OR a 100 calorie Greek yogurt. Sometimes I eat in the car on my way to school (teacher) sometimes I eat at my desk when I get there and I don't eat again until 10:45-that's my first break, so I have to go from 8am until then. I'm usually STARVING by then! Teaching must burn a lot of calories!

    I leave REALLY early, not usually hungry, so I pack containers with an ounce of almonds or walnuts and stick one in my pocket to eat on the drive in. Black coffee makes it all work.

    I make a bunch of "McMuffin" type sandwiches in advance.

    100 Cal Thomas English Muffin
    Morning Star Veggie Sausage Patty (Can also use Jimmy Dean)
    Slice of cheese
    Eggs

    I actually buy liquid eggs (saves time!) and pour them in a jelly roll pan, bake @ 350 for 15 mins. I then use a drinking glass to cut out circles of eggs. I toast all the english muffins, add a slide of cheese, egg, and a frozen sausage. Then I wrap in in parchment paper and freeze them. Grab them, nuke them for 1 min 30 secs, and go!

    If they're drying out at all in the microwave, wrap them in a damp paper towel before microwaving.

    It takes about 30 mins to make all of them, but I usually make 15 at a time.


    Great idea. I will have to try this.

    Could you make your eggs in a muffin pan to get that same circular muffin size youre looking for?

    Quest bar and coffee, maybe a banana. Sometimes I put half a protein shake IN my coffee and take a banana with me. I also like those Kay's naturals protein snacks. Cinnamon toast sticks or the cinnamon or honey cookie bites are good--120 calories and 12 grams protein. Those are truly grab and go, but if I have the time I will make instant oatmeal and stir in greek yogurt or make a ham-egg-cheese taco or thin sandwich.

    I bought a Shake n Take and make smoothies from it!
    Or I get Greek yogurt (obsessed with it), toast with PB with milk, or a banana/any fruit I see.

    Don't know why you couldn't

    For sandwiches, I'd probably break the yolks and give them a quick stir, then bake until completely firm. Maybe I'll have to do this. I used to bulk-make breakfast burritos a lot.

    I would say a quick breakfast depends on whether you are going to be able to eat when you get to your destination or not. For example, if you are going to workout ... grab an apple for before and some chocolate milk or a protein shake for after. If you are just going to work, grab something that you are able to prepare once you get there.

    I am one of those 'roll out of bed and out the door people' because I wake up at 330am. I have my protein powder in my magic bullet ready to go, throw in some ice, avacado and water, blend it for like 20 seconds and out the door I go! Nutritious, when the first thing you eat in the day include fat instead of carbs, it also tells your body to burn more fat throughout the day because its the first signal sent to your metabolism!

    Cheers!

    If I've got no time or need to get out for a run, wholemeal bread and peanut butter with sliced banana. Mug of black coffee. Power food.

    If I've got time, porridge, banana and peanut butter. Mug of black coffee.

    If I'm being indulgent or as a post LSR treat, buttered crumpets and a bucket of sweet tea. Mmmmm!
